Dream On

I have a saved Zillow search for certain kinds of houses. These homes share one major quality. They’re all on the water.  Lots of homes come through my email, but I found my actual dream home in my inbox the other day. As I scrolled through the pictures, I actually got a little teary. This home has EVERYTHING I could ever want or dream to have.

This home is gorgeous! It’s on the water. It is picturesque and romantic. It has a history. I think I long for something with roots. I want something with a story. I think that’s why I have a fascination with antiques and cemeteries (I don’t think I’ve ever told you all about that). I love a good story.  As I look through the pictures, I can imagine so many different conversations. I imagine all the things the house could say if it could speak.

This search is really a dream search. I will probably never move from my landlocked home. I will probably never have the kind of money it would take to buy and maintain my dream home. So I will continue to dream of the stories of the past in the homes I find in my inbox.

 

Love It {ClickList}

During our vacation to Hilton Head, we used ClickList at Kroger for the first time. We almost always shop at Kroger at home, but I prefer to wander through each aisle looking for inspiration. During vacation, I just want to get back to the beach or pool. We signed up for ClickList and started a list before we left. The day before we left, I finalized and paid for the order. When we arrived in Hilton Head, we just drove to the store, parked in the designated area, called the number to let them know we were there and VOILA, the groceries were loaded in the car! It was truly awesome! One of the neatest things is that if an item isn’t available then they will give you the larger size or a better brand at the same price. They will ask if you’re okay with the changes. We always were. The employees were really awesome and super friendly.  I would highly recommend this service, especially on vacation!
